Peace in Christ.
The redeemed from among men…who come out from among the man-based churches…stand upon “Mount Zion” with the Lamb. Revelation 14:1 .
We are redeemed NOT by the churches fathers’ things that they deem as “precious” (silver, gold)…their church handwritings and doctrines…but we are redeemed with the precious blood of the Lamb.
Our “vain conversation”…our empty church behavior…was received by us by the church fathers’ “tradition”…their handed-down “tradition”…their handwritings that were passed down from one generation to the next. The sins of the church fathers (their handwritings) were passed down from one generation to another by doing so....making them to also go through the "fire" of God's wrath for He is a consuming fire upon the children of disobedience.
1Pe 1:18-19 KJV
(18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
(19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
We...who believe in the Word of Truth when we hear it.... stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion.
“Zion” = rising “sign”, monument, “indication” or “marking.”
It is the sign of the Son of man….the rising light…the mounting up light .. "Mount Zion"… within our very hearts that brings us together …being of one mind and one body in Him. We stand with the Lamb with the sign of the Son of man shining in our hearts. We keep His daily sacrifice....the Lamb slain.
The 144,000 = the house of Jacob = the few who receive His mercy and are redeemed from among the man-based churches.
Rev 14:1 KJV
(1) And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
They HEAR the voice from Heaven and believe.
His voice is as the voice of “many waters” as the Son interprets the words of the biblical witnesses that are recorded in the Scriptures. Many waters = The spirits/breath of just men are made complete by the interpretation of Christ.
The hearers and believers of the Word of Truth rejoice in their hearts…..making melody there (the voice of harpers harping with their harps…that is, their HEARTS.)
Rev 14:2-3 KJV
(2) And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
The voice of the harpers harping with their harps = rejoicing in the heart and giving thanks always for all things unto God….as they hear the Word of Truth and believe and rejoice with their hearts...the "harpers harping with their harps."
Eph 5:19-21 KJV
(19) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
(20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
(21) Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
The “voice of a great thunder” = God will glorify His name. He will glorify us who believe in the Word of Truth as His name is written in the forehead (amid the face). He glorifies His name and we have His name/authority written amid our faces....the open face.
Joh 12:28-30 KJV
(28) Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
(29) The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
(30) Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
The 144,000 are those who are created for His glory.
Isa 43:7-8 KJV
(7) Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
They will shine towards the outside people who are in deep spiritual darkness. They will “bring forth the blind people that have eyes”…those on the outside who will see us and believe. They will also preach to His people who will hear ...bringing forth the "deaf" among His people who have ears to hear.
(8) Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
The Christians that were before us were the “vessels of wrath” that were fitted to destruction….but now He creates the 144,000 for the display of His glory.
The Christians that were formed for the display of His wrath were sown in dishonor and weakness...but they will be resurrected in honor and glory AT the last day of this age.
Rom 9:21-23 KJV
(21) Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
(22) What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
The 144,000 are those who He has prepared unto the display of His glory to this dark world. They are the first fruits....they are resurrected NOW in this mortal body and are kept standing here in this earth TO the last day of this age.
(23) And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
The 144,000 will keep His daily sacrifice (the Lamb slain). They will be redeemed from among men….from the man-based churches. They will no longer keep company with them….not defiling themselves with “women”…being one flesh with the harlot churches of men....the "strange woman".
Rev 14:4-5 KJV
(4) These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
In their mouth was found no “guile”…no decoy. They will not preach “another jesus”…a decoy jesus…a false Christ.
(5) And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
The first fruits are not defiled with "women"..they will not sit together in the man-based churches becoming one body and one flesh with them in their destruction. They are redeemed...delivered from the "strange woman"...from the congregations of false prophets who flatter them with their good words and fair speeches. Nobody that goes to a man-based church takes hold of the paths of life. We must come out from among them and be separate....be "virgins."
Pro 2:16-22 KJV
(16) To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
(17) Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
(18) For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
(19) None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
(20) That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
(21) For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
(22) But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
